You Don’t Have To Settle For Less

A recent article on CareerBuilder outlines one of the common mistakes when high-level candidates start a new job search. Are You Shooting Too Low in Your Job Search? gives the two primary reasons people apply to jobs for which they are overqualified, as well as problems with accepting a lower-level job. The article recommends networking in order to find the ‘hidden job market’ of jobs not posted online. While using your network is always important in any search, it also helps to work with a recruiter so that they can identify positions suitable to your level of expertise. If the recruiter doesn’t think you are a good match they will let you know and help you find something that is a better fit with your qualifications. It’s important to make sure you have the right fit in all aspects of your job.
